This place has lovely views of the water and on a clear day you can see Sentosa clearly. A colourful train carrying people goes around the place at intervals, adding to the atmosphere. Very nice place. Service is not very helpful or friendly, and can be arrogant. The table setting is minimalist and only what is required. The standard wet towel is chargeable. There are also some sourish appetizers which are also standard chargeable items.But food and views are great. Very clean place. Everything
The table setting is minimalist and only what is required. The standard wet towel is chargeable. There are also some sourish appetizers which are also standard chargeable items.
But food and views are great. Very clean place. Everything is neat and tidy. Nice decor. Definitely recommended for the decor, ambience, location. It is very easy to find and get to. The competitor Tung Lok is just next door! Wheelchairs and prams have to use a special entrance at the back. The entry into the restaurant is actually very narrow and small and has some steps.
We had Tie Guan Yin tea, which my companions commented that it was not fragrant enough to be like Tie Guan Yin. It was more like some kind of Chinese green tea. But it was good enough. They do not top up your hot water unless requested. Also, if you are already served your last dish, they will ignore you from then on, as they do not want you to sit there drinking tea only.
The baked honey char siew bun is very good. Wish there was more filling and not so much air! Love honey char siew and it is done nicely here. Soft and sweet. And moist, not dry. About $8
The baked egg tarts were pretty good and hot. However, my companions commented that the ones at Tung Lok were much better. The crust here is flaky and buttery. The egg is fragrant and rich. About $8
The salt and pepper fried tofu was nice too. Very salty of course. Not much pepper taste but there was red pepper flakes on it. Nice and soft. No real tofu taste though. Maybe it’s too salty to taste like anything else. About $10
The mango pomelo dessert is not bad but rather overpriced for such a small serve. It was sweet and fragrant. Overly sweet actually. about $8Overall, it is recommended for ambience and food. The staff are quite organized but fixing the bill is slow and service during the meal was almost non-existent.
